Model Card for Tulu V2.5 DPO 13B - UltraFeedback Mean

Tulu is a series of language models that are trained to act as helpful assistants. Tulu V2.5 is a series of models trained using DPO and PPO starting from the Tulu 2 suite. This model is trained on UltraFeedback, using the average of the finegrained scores to determine chosen and rejected.

.Model description

Model type: One model belonging to a suite of RLHF tuned chat models on a mix of publicly available, synthetic and human-created datasets.
Language(s) (NLP): English
License: Apache 2.0.
Finetuned from model: meta-llama/Llama-2-13b-hf

Model Sources

Repository: https://github.com/allenai/open-instruct
Dataset: Data used to train this model can be found here - specifically the ultrafeedback_mean_aspects split.
Model Family: The collection of related models can be found here.

Input Format

The model is trained to use the following format (note the newlines):

<|user|>
Your message here!
<|assistant|>

For best results, format all inputs in this manner. Make sure to include a newline after <|assistant|>, this can affect generation quality quite a bit. We have included a chat template in the tokenizer implementing this template.

Intended uses & limitations

The model was initially fine-tuned on a filtered and preprocessed of the Tulu V2 mix dataset, which contains a diverse range of human created instructions and synthetic dialogues generated primarily by other LLMs. We then further aligned the model with a Jax DPO trainer built on EasyLM on the dataset mentioned above.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

The Tulu models have not been aligned to generate safe completions within the RLHF phase or deployed with in-the-loop filtering of responses like ChatGPT, so the model can produce problematic outputs (especially when prompted to do so). It is also unknown what the size and composition of the corpus was used to train the base Llama 2 models, however it is likely to have included a mix of Web data and technical sources like books and code. See the Falcon 180B model card for an example of this.

Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during DPO training:

learning_rate: 5e-07
total_train_batch_size: 32
optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
lr_scheduler_type: linear
lr_scheduler_warmup_ratio: 0.1
num_epochs: 3.0
